First one was just a stop gap measure and was indicated as such until a replacement of different composition could be sourced.
people that blew off the recall long enough got the final fix last year. Those who never had it done have been open to the final repair for about a year. o Those who had the stop gap measure installed were added to the final fix measure last week (~4/26).
There's been a thread about it for months.

 

that would sort of fit into my story, I blew them off for two years and end of last year took it in, they said they did it without taking the dash out, hence maybe yeh its the igniter. Will hold my breath that I don't get another recall

 

You realize this is no fault of Mitsubishi, right?

This is all Takata.

 

A lot of manufactures are have this happen to them and issuing a second airbag replacement, It's Takata's fault 100% for this.

I'm personally not taking my car in for the 2nd time for the recall, my dash board has had a rattle since they performed that last recall.

 

i got this letter also - so what's the deal? we need to take the car in again?

unless every other manufacturer is doing a second recall for the airbag, i would say it's mitsu's fault

 

I just got my notice Monday.

 

It's Mitsubishi's fault in the sense that they went with Takata as a vendor. The reason for the double recall is understandable though, mitsubishi and all the other MFG's that used them had a duty to reduce potential law suits so they issued the recall even though a suitable replacement was not yet available. They just did the Fight Club math and this is what ended up being less risky for them.

 

They tried to reflash my rom last time. I insistently declined that recall work.

 

I kind of wonder if the tech would even do it. You gotta think if your a dealer tech that works on evo's you would take one look at the intake, and injectors and be like "NOPE". Maybe thats too much credit, but you gotta think being burned even once by this as a tech would be a nightmare.

I have seen that this has actually happened before, but one would hope that's more the exception then the rule.

 

I lucked out: the service manager, at my local dealership, knew me so he put in the computer that they did the ECU update, in case it became a problem at smog time. No big deal, other than I would have had to take my laptop with me to pick the car up
Imagine the techs going nuts, trying to figure out why a customer's car quit running after the update hahaha.

I hope this recall can be done without removing the dash. Mine has rattled ever since the first one. I fully expected that to happen, though.

 

I was thinking the same thing, I wonder how long i would let them scramble before mentioning i could just flash it back.

 

You wait until they offer you free oil changes. Lol

 

Genius! And after you are done with their donuts and coffee. Maybe try to get a free lunch out of it, too.
